Hey
Stop me if this is a stupid offer, I'm still trying to figure out how this whole thing works, but
I heard about the whole gate problem, and the whole simulation thing, there's probably more going on too that I don't know about yet
I'm an engineer
You guys might already have a few, but just in case you're shorthanded
If there's anything I can do to help, I want to

I can also apparently do a weird tools thing now so that's
something

edit: if anyone's in the market for crazy experiments in there
you guys glitch the sim when you do your chest thing, right?
anyone tried organizing a group glow-off? overwhelm the system with too much at once, DDOS it into crashing?

Warm regards.

[wittingly]

Love it
perfect finishing touch

let me know what Harold says

[myownwoman]

I take it you're a new arrival?

[wittingly]

yeah, extremely
what gave it away?

[myownwoman]

Weird tools thing. Most people are less than forthcoming about their newfound abilities.

[wittingly]

I know there's a stigma when you're talking to anyone who isn't part of the chest club, but is there something else that makes people not want to talk about it with each other?

[myownwoman]

General distrust?

[wittingly]

Seems like an unpleasant way to go about living with the people you're stuck with.

[myownwoman]

Sometimes it is safer.

[wittingly]

Like you're afraid someone may use you for what you can do, kind of a thing?

[myownwoman]

I do not hide mine, so I can't speak to anyone that is reluctant to share, but yes.

Distrust as form of self-defense seems likely. An unfortunate byproduct of our forced community means that any one of us can inform on the others.

[wittingly]

seems sort of like mutually assured destruction, though, doesn't it? you expose everyone you expose yourself?

out of curiosity, what's yours?

[myownwoman]

Sacrifice someone else to save yourself.

I can make ice. Daisy calls me Frozone, despite my lack of understanding of that reference.

[wittingly]

The next time she calls you that, say "honey, where's my supersuit?"
trust me, you'll blow her mind

[myownwoman]

I'll try to remember.

[ she won't tho ]

[wittingly]

I have 100% confidence in you

[myownwoman]

I would welcome you to New Amsterdam

[ but ]

[wittingly]

maybe hang onto that idea and then when I actually make it there we can do a real welcome

get drunk with Harold, then maybe rob him

[myownwoman]

Maybe he will be so distraught over this that he'll quit and you can take his job.

[wittingly]

what's his job?

[myownwoman]

Hover bike mechanic. Lazy pig.

[wittingly]

I get the feeling I could pull that off with a couple weeks of training

the hover components specifically

think we could convince him to do an internship before he guilt-quits?

[myownwoman]

I can teach you.

[wittingly]

great, adios Harold


I'm 100% serious about the hover part, not necessarily the harold part
I'm like actually a little obsessively eager now
is this something you can show me through like neural mesh implant video recording and uploads and stuff or is it gonna need to be hands-on

someone needs to fix those fucking gates

[myownwoman]

It is not hard to learn. I have a manual but presently I can't access it.
